Passed!

I passed the GD test! So happy! Last time I had to do the 3-hour test which sucked.

My iron was a little low so I’m supposed to take an extra supplement, with orange juice.

V. went to sleep at 8 last night and only woke briefly around midnight (“briefly” for her means 45 minutes instead of 2 hours). I think she was cold. I cranked up the space heater and she slept through until 7 a.m. Yay!

For some reason, even though I’m exhausted, I have a hard time falling asleep.

I’m hoping as I get more rest, though, that my blood pressure will drop down into a better range. It’s still hovering right around that 140/90 line. I haven’t told anyone except you guys yet.

Horray for passing that hurdle! Good for you. If you still have challenges with it later, let me know as I have been really learning a lot of new reipies and things I can eat w/ GD. Also, I have been working on my BP (I have gotten it down 15 points in a few weeks) by taking celery seed suppliments (at night) and Vit D3 (5000 mg a day), as well as taking liquid chloriphil and drinking Nettles Tea.

Thanks for always posting such sweet comments on my blog. It is so good to hear from you.
